Recognize a Stalker?

Learn to Recognize a Stalker

Would you recognize a stalker in your life? Perhaps, not.

In my novel The Artist’s Paradise, Angie Rhodes fell under the spell of an abuser. She unknowingly lost her freedom, her self-confidence, and close relationships’ while her charming abuser worked his magic.

In my second novel, Whispers in the Wind, Jeopardy Mills becomes entangled with the threat of a Stalker. Often, our view of evil prevents us from recognizing the warning signals. We prepare for tornadoes, floods, ice storms, and other natural disasters. The CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), found that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men have been stalked during their lifetime. Prepare yourself, now.

What you should know

Stalking is often committed by a person you may know casually or have known in a personal relationship.

Stalking can be carried out in person or via electronic mechanisms (phone, fax, GPS, cameras, computer spyware, or the Internet).

The stalker tends to be younger than his or her victim.

Almost two-thirds of victim’s suffer domestic violence in their prior relationship with the stalker.

The length of stalking ranged between 1 month and 38 years, with a median of 12 months.
